Also takes time, energy to fight legislation

I was floored when I read Rep. Tim Moffitt’s hypocritical comments in the Citizen-Times after the GOP-appointed Board of Elections dismissed Turner’s complaint. Moffitt says “It takes time, energy and resources to deal with this kind of thing,” and “It is a clear abuse of process for political purposes.” Does Moffitt not see the hypocrisy of this statement? It takes taxpayer time, energy, and resources to fight Moffitt’s … bills taking Asheville’s water system. It takes time, energy, and resources to create a Cultural and Recreation Authority only to have Moffitt dissolve it a year later. Moffitt has cost the taxpayers of Buncombe County and N.C. plenty in his abuse of the process in the obvious pursuit of political gain.
